DCFYI

What is Chain Reaction?

A show (watch as Christine paints Tati's inspirational story to the sound of an original rock opera performed live, with costume changes and special effects).

Good food (including happy hour specials until 7).

For a good cause - helping teens in foster care find families.

“And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.”

International Performance Artist Christine Walters, known for "painting the abstract of live DJ music," will create a painting depicting Tati’s story to an original rock opera, written and performed by The Nick Miller Project.

​What is Tati's story, what does it have to do with DCFYI, how did Tati meet her host family, and why does she feel so strongly about paying that family back by paying it forward?  You can read Tati's story here and watch (and hear) it unfold on canvas at Chain Reaction.

The Nick Miller Project mixes the live looping, one-man-band talents of Nick Miller with the soulful, dynamic voice of the gorgeous Gabe Green. Nick records multiple instruments live to create a sonic tapestry that brings a smile to your ear and a jangle to your bones. Together, Nick and Gabe play with styles ranging from blues, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and reggae to folk, bluegrass, and Indian classical. Instrumentation includes guitar, bass, sitar, drums, banjo, various percussion, and the use of a violin bow, so expect to be moved musically in many ways!

The evening is a benefit for Family & Youth Initiative.

$10 minimum donation.

We'll be raffling off some wonderful items, including artwork and gift certificates, at the event. You can see them here.
